  • From Misinformation To Medicine: Forging Bipartisan Support to Reverse Anti-mRNA Policy

    In this article, I’ll share some of the progress AMM has made and the barriers the organization/our industry is still facing in our efforts to reverse the policy decisions that have been made against mRNA today. Throughout the panel, the speakers also shared their thoughts on the types of messaging we should be considering and/or have started to see making an impact. 

  • Picasso, Pick-Up Lines, & Personalized Medicine: mRNA's Path Forward

    Overall, my presentation on what the mRNA industry can learn from the artist Picasso singled out a few specific areas from which I felt our industry could garner greater inspiration and operational prowess. But given how “collaborative” many of these sources of inspiration are, I’ve introduced each of my takeaways with a surprisingly relevant (albeit bad) art-themed pick-up line. After all, if there’s one sector that knows it takes more than one to “tango,” it’s the mRNA industry.

  • Bridging The Atlantic: A European Executive's Guide To Building A Successful U.S. RNA Business (Pt. 2)

    European RNA biotech leaders can accelerate U.S. success by aligning fundraising, partnerships, manufacturing, hiring, and regulatory strategy from day one.

  • Can America's Retreat On mRNA Be Europe's Opportunity?

    With HHS winding down mRNA vaccine development under BARDA, could Europe seize the opportunity to lead in mRNA innovation? Exploring the policy shift's implications.

  • Moderna & The Global mRNA Supply Chain: Regulatory Lessons Learned

    One of the most important reminders I took away from Moderna’s experiences ushering its mRNA vaccine onto the global market is that a commercial manufacturing process must also be accompanied by a commercially ready supply chain. Though sufficient physical volumes of each raw material and a redundant supplier network are necessities, physical scale is not the only “CQA” for which we must account when commercializing our supply chain. 

  • The mRNA Supply Chain Revolution: Materials, Methods, And Momentum

    mRNA innovation now hinges as much on manufacturing materials as on molecular design, with novel inputs shaping performance, cost, and scalability. As these less-mature materials move rapidly into production, strategic material selection and supplier alignment are becoming critical to manufacturing resilience and long-term success.

In response to an audience poll question gauging which cGMP materials have proven the most difficult to source, our speakers provide additional clarity around which IVT & LNP-related materials today are more “commoditized”.

In this opening Advancing RNA Live clip, NanoVation Therapeutics’ Dominik Witzigmann and Stealth Co’s John Zuris share the scientific advancements they’ve been watching most keenly in the LNP space, as well as some of the evolutions they’re seeing in the overall quality of our RNA-LNP products.

Learn how single-use technologies deliver important benefits for mRNA manufacturing, including increased speed, quality, flexibility, and adaptability to different dosages and scale-up strategies.

Achieving cost-effective manufacturing while maintaining high quality standards today is one of the biggest challenges facing companies outsourcing mRNA/RNA development. In turn, panelists Qian Ruan, Andy Geall, and Alex Aust reflect on how and where they’ve seen the costs of mRNA-LNP manufacturing evolving/fluctuating in recent years.
